RepHresh Vaginal Gel: Many vaginal problems are caused by an imbalance in vaginal pH. An unbalanced pH can be caused by common occurrences such as your period, unprotected sex, douching or the hormonal changes you experience during pregnancy. The good news is that balanced vaginal pH is important for maintaining good vaginal health. And that’s where RepHreshcomes in.
RepHreshis an over-the-counter vaginal gel clinically proven to maintain healthy vaginal pH. It’s colourless, odourless and long-lasting - just one application lasts for three full days.
Use RepHresh to maintain a healthy ph level and:
To help reduce vaginal Infection
To help stop odour
To help reduce itching and discomfort
After your period
Before or after sex
For freshness anytime
Why does Vaginal pH matter?
A normal vaginal pH of 4.5 is important for maintaining good vaginal health. At this optimum pH level, your vagina contains a specific balance of necessary bacteria and some yeast cells. This delicate balance can easily be disturbed, and when this happens, vaginal problems, like odour, irritation, discomfort and even infections, are more likely to occur.
How do I know if RepHresh is right for me?
If you have had reoccurring symptoms that have not responded to other over the counter products – RepHresh may be for you!
How often should I use RepHresh?
RepHresh should be used once every three days for best results. Alternatively it may be helpful to use RepHresh during the times you are most susceptible to higher pH levels, such as after your period, after unprotected sex or during pregnancy. Your doctor can help you figure out when you are most susceptible to higher pH levels based on your medical history.
Can I have oral sex/intercourse while using RepHresh?
Yes. In fact, the use of RepHresh can even help lessen discomfort after intercourse. Also, because the pH level of sperm is so high, it can cause your vaginal pH to become unbalanced. The use of RepHresh after unprotected sex will keep your vaginal pH balanced. And by maintaining a balanced pH, RepHresh also helps control vaginal odour, which may make you and your partner feel more comfortable during those intimate moments.
Does RepHresh do anything for vaginal odour?
Yes. Vaginal odour is often about pH balance, not bad hygiene. If you are uncomfortable with your normal vaginal odour, the use of RepHresh will balance your pH and begin eliminating odour immediately after the first use. However, unusual vaginal odour can be a symptom of a more serious problem, and in this case you should see your doctor for a correct diagnosis.
